So I just got home and watched the video. Live an hour north of San Fran. Am I going to die this week? But seriously is this going to be a big storm? People are just saying it's going to rain Wed,Thur, Fri. No one seems alarmed, I havent even heard anything about flooding.

Sonoma County here... Yup. It's gonna rain. Nothing really on the news about these advisories. Funny how the "backside Intel" is always leaps and bounds ahead of the MSM.

I'm sure by tomorrow night or so, KTVUU will have some bug "Storm Watch" coverage. But until then, no word...

I'm in Sonoma County too. The paper only said rain Wednesday.Warnings only on internet weather. We will see, but I will get some extra fire wood just in case of power outages. The internet said high wind too.

Yeah, I saw that... Well, at least he have an "Extra" day to prep. (Cover things and stow the yard umbrella) LOL

I Must get my chainsaw running tomorrow... Damn thing seized up during a cut a while back and I set it down out of frustration.

One of these days... A *REAL* rain is gonna come and wash all this scum off the streets.

Funny thing is the government has been preparing for just such a "disaster" since Jan. 2011!

"In January, the USGS released a report detailing a scenario similar to a series of storms that struck California in the winter of 1861-1862 when rain fell for 45 days and turned the Central Valley, a vast area of approximately 42,000 square miles in the middle of the state, into an inland sea. Proposing that a similar storm could happen again, the report details the effects of the rainfall, as well as its impact on human life, the economy, the environment and infrastructure across the state."

Will this happen in the next week or so? Maybe, maybe not, we'll have to wait and see. There are some other factors to include here and one is the FACT that there has been a sea level rise in the SF Bay and Sacramento Delta that has threatened lots of farmland over the last couple of years. Rivers don't drain as fast as they used to for this reason. Therefore, a relatively small but intense rain event could cause big flooding problems, especially if any of the levee's fail, for whatever reason. Weather warfare could play a very real part in this as well.

Is the Sea Level Riseing or is that part of the woods sinking..? Pakistan. Cambodia. Veitnam. Nigeria. Africa are all having issue's with sinking. Pakistan has sunk 10 feet this year alone along its coast and inland. Nasa Earth Changes Satelite confirmed same.

Don't knock on my damn doors don't bring your message to me because you're not changing a damn thing. I don't believe that females are the only oppressed people especially when the older women who let these short curvy chicks in their crew have deep down hate for anything that is not muscular or tall and I do mean MUSCULAR so that cuts out short muscular guys like the ones I went to school with who played football.

hi,im in england and i can tell you its been raining for three days and nights here solid! Wtf is going on with the weather??? Large swaths of uk are flooded with more rain on the way.could this be due to the extream melt at the arctic this year?i mean it seems theres tons more water in the atmosphere,anyways takecare all who are in the path of these floods.

6" of rain is not all that bad. Sure, there will be some flooding, but when it pours down 6', then they are in for it!

Central Cali here. The biggest dangers here are 1]landslides 2]overflowing rivers/creeks 3]the powers that be haven't let enough water out of the damns in preparation, leading to forced opening of the gates, to be added to the over flow. and 4] water makes good lubrication when we are under an earthquake watch.
